All too often, what’s good for business is bad news for the environment, but at Kakira, we are smiling both ways.

One of the largest facilities of its kind in Africa, Kakira’s bagasse co-generation power plant produces a total of 51MW of electricity.

This meets the entire energy requirements of the factory and the estate, and also supplies 32MW of sustainable green power to the Uganda national grid.

Because we have bagasse readily available as residue from sugarcane crushing, generating electricity at Kakira efficiently disposes of our waste and does not put any extra demand on the environment.
